A quick and flavorful dish combining spicy chorizo, succulent prawns, and creamy polenta.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g chorizo, sliced
  • 200g prawns, peeled and deveined
  • 150g instant polenta
  • 500ml chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook until crispy, about 3 minutes.

  3. Stir in prawns and smoked paprika. Cook until prawns turn pink, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
